Whilst she will not be making a move to any other women’s clubs, Parker confirmed in an interview with Canaries TV that she would be pursuing a career in refereeing, increasing her work with the Norfolk FA.

The left-back first joined Norwich City in the Under-11s team, eventually moving to West Ham United before returning to play for the Norwich City first team.

Parker has been part of two Norfolk County Cup final-winning squads and bagged a brace in the women’s team’s return to Carrow Road in April 2023.

She said: “It’s been a long process, it’s taken a long time to make the decision, it’s been a hard one and a real emotional one as well, but hopefully it will be the right thing for myself and I am looking forward to the next steps.”

Head of women’s football, Flo Allen, said: “As a former graduate of our player pathway, Alice has played an integral role both on and off the field in the side’s recent development, becoming a role model to many City fans.

“Although we are disappointed to see her depart the club, we must place on record our thanks to Alice for her commitment shown towards the club. She departs with our best wishes as she transitions from player to referee.”

Everybody at Norwich City wishes Alice all the best for the future and we thank her for time as a Canary.
